Nothing in life comes with zero risk. However, you can make smart choices to avoid unnecessary drama and pain. Is cosmetic dentistry safe enough to let you enjoy beautiful results without putting your smile at high risk of damage and discomfort? Absolutely! How does your dentist ensure your safety and satisfaction with your cosmetic experience? Check out these methods a competent cosmetic dentist uses.
Advanced Technology
Along with local anesthetics, breakthroughs in technology have not only made treatments more efficient and effective, but they have also decreased risk of failure, pain, and complications. For instance, digital imaging as well as 3D model scanning allow your dentist to plan the procedure with detail, and smile preview software enables you to more clearly picture what the results will look like. Through this technology, your dentist can manipulate your photo to reflect the changes they have in mind, giving you the same vision of your flawless smile. In other words, you can enter treatment knowing you already love how it turns out!
Extensive Training and Continuing Education
Although cosmetic dentistry isn’t an officially recognized specialty in the field, if you want confidence in your appearance after treatment, you should find someone who has undergone quite a bit of training in cosmetic procedures. A dentist who is an active member of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry and has studied with prestigious organizations like Spear Education and Phelan Dental Seminars can give you reassurance that they know how to deliver amazing results.
Collaboration with Experts
Sometimes, even the most talented and experienced dentists bring in an expert to best serve the patient. While your dentist can focus on restorations or the appearance of your teeth, a board-certified periodontist can attend to your gums, which are essential to have a well-balanced, beautiful smile. Through this collaboration and teamwork, you can rest easily knowing your smile will look its best with minimal risks.
Proven Results
Nothing communicates your dentist’s skills and expertise quite like hearing from those who have already undergone treatment with them. Seeing before and after photos, reading reviews, or getting feedback from current and past patients can let you know that this dentist can give you your own success story safely, comfortably, and pleasantly.
As it is, cosmetic dentistry has low odds of failure or complication. However, even with the best preparation and qualification, sometimes unfavorable or unlucky things can happen, but with these provisions, your risk of encountering these types of situations drops even more. If you’re ready to love your smile, don’t hesitate to get started!
